FAQ

There are countless dry shampoo options available – aerosols, powders, clear formulas, tinted options – that don’t actually clean your hair. In fact, the powder-based formulas soak up oil (not sweat) and leave behind a residue that you can see and feel. PhD Dry Shampoo was designed to mimic a regular shampoo and the effects of washing your hair, giving you similar results as if you just washed it in the shower. Perfect hair Day™ Dry Shampoo can clean beyond an ordinary dry shampoo, absorbing oil, sweat, and odor.

Apply Perfect hair Day™ Dry Shampoo as directed. Instead of massaging with fingers or brushing hair you can use a blow dryer on low speed to remove the powders from hair (the force of the air will remove powders without disrupting curls).

Yes, it can be used on any hair type. For thicker, coarser hair texture, section more thoroughly. For curly hair, remove powders with a blow dryer (vs. fingers or brush, which will deconstruct the curl).

Yes, you can use PhD Dry Shampoo on top of hair products you used on damp hair to style (i.e. styling cream followed later in the day or the next day with dry shampoo). You can also use PhD Dry Shampoo before using products on dry hair to re-touch (i.e. dry shampoo followed by hairspray or finishing serum).

PhD Dry Shampoo is compatible with all Living Proof care and styling products. The powders in dry shampoo may stick more to resin-base products (i.e. products that have hold). The powders should still be easily removed. If you do still see powders after using fingers and/or brush, use a blow dryer for more thorough removal.

The amount of dry shampoo depends on your hair type and the level of oil, sweat and odor in hair. Section hair, spray for 1-2 seconds at a time. Wait 30 seconds for the powders to activate and cleanse. Remove by massaging your hair with fingers or brushing your hair. Then, add more as needed.

White residue that is easy to remove is normal and expected—especially if you have dark hair. To remove the white residue, rub and massage hair with fingers and/or use brush. A boar’s bristle brush will be the most efficient in removing the powders. If white residue still exists, use a blow dryer.

No, we know you worked hard for your style and don’t want to start from scratch. PhD Dry Shampoo absorbs and removes just the bad—oil, sweat and odor.

The fragrance in Perfect hair Day™ Dry Shampoo is light citrus scent that’s similar to what’s found in most other Living Proof products.
